A slot is a placeholder on a dashboard page built by Wix, such as the More Actions menu on the Wix CRM Contact page. A dashboard plugin or a dashboard menu plugin fills a slot.
The following table lists the slot types, the extension that fills each type, what the extension adds to the page, and where the slot's data goes:
| Slot type | Filled by | Adds to page | Slot data goes to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dashboard plugin slot | Dashboard plugin | Its own UI, in the slot's area of the page | The plugin component, as props |
| Dashboard menu plugin slot | Dashboard menu plugin | A clickable item, such as a menu item | The modal or page that the item opens |
For how each extension reads the slot's data, see slot data for dashboard plugins and slot data for dashboard menu plugins.
Each slot has an ID. An extension names the slot it fills in the extends field of its configuration file.
In Studio Two, the Wix Extension Builder can label a slot differently from its name in this section, but the slot's ID is the same.
For example, the Extension Builder labels the Wix Stores Products banner slot Products Page.
Each slot also defines the data it passes to the extension, such as the ID of the order or contact in view. Some slots pass no data.
The Wix business solution that owns a page exports each slot's data type from the dashboard entry point of its package, usually as plugins.<page>.<slot>Params. In this path, <page> and <slot> are the package's names for the page and the slot, which can differ from the page's title in the dashboard and from the slot's name in this section.
For example, @wix/crm names the Wix CRM Contact page ContactFullPage and its More Actions menu slot ContactMainMoreActionsMenu, so that slot's data type is plugins.ContactFullPage.ContactMainMoreActionsMenuParams.
The code example in each slot's Params article declares the slot's data type with its full path.
The following table lists the dashboard pages built by Wix that this section covers, the slot types on each page, and the page builder for each page, if it has one:
| Business solution | Page | Slot types | Builder |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wix Blog | Categories Page | Dashboard plugin, dashboard menu plugin | blogCategories() |
| Wix Blog | Edit Post Page | Dashboard menu plugin | None |
| Wix Blog | Posts Page | Dashboard plugin, dashboard menu plugin | blogPosts() |
| Wix Blog | Tags Page | Dashboard plugin, dashboard menu plugin | blogTags() |
| Wix Bookings | Booking Policies Page | Dashboard plugin | None |
| Wix Bookings | Edit Staff Profile Page | Dashboard plugin, dashboard menu plugin | staffEdit({ staffMemberId }) |
| Wix Bookings | Services Page | Dashboard plugin, dashboard menu plugin | servicesList() |
| Wix Bookings | Staff Page | Dashboard plugin, dashboard menu plugin | staffList() |
| Wix CRM | Contact Page | Dashboard menu plugin | None |
| Wix eCommerce | Edit Order Page | Dashboard menu plugin | editOrder({ orderId }) |
| Wix eCommerce | Orders List Page | Dashboard menu plugin | orderList() |
| Wix Events | Event Page | Dashboard plugin, dashboard menu plugin | None |
| Wix Events | Published and Draft Pages | Dashboard menu plugin | None |
| Wix Stores | Inventory Page | Dashboard plugin, dashboard menu plugin | None |
| Wix Stores | Products Page | Dashboard plugin, dashboard menu plugin | productsList() |
| Wix Table Reservations | Table Reservations Page | Dashboard plugin, dashboard menu plugin | None |
Each page in the table has its own folder in this section. A page's folder can hold the following articles:
The Event Page folder is organized by tab. Its Introduction lists the tabs of the Wix Events Event page, and each tab has its own article with the tab's location in the dashboard and its slots.
The Published and Draft Pages folder holds only its Params article.
Some other dashboard pages built by Wix also have slots, such as the Wix Bookings Booking List page and the Wix eCommerce Order page.
The About Dashboard Page Slots list in Build Apps covers most of these pages.
The Build Apps articles describe how to configure an extension in the app dashboard. Their slot IDs, locations, and data also apply to an extension in a Studio Two site project or a Wix CLI app.
Some slot types in Build Apps differ from the types in the business solution's package. For example, Build Apps lists two slots on the Wix Bookings Booking List page as menu slots, but they're dashboard plugin slots.
For the files and configuration of an extension in a Studio Two site project or a Wix CLI app, see Dashboard Plugin Extension Files and Code and Dashboard Menu Plugin Extension Files and Code.
